Starting Off Strong at Your New Job

Lots of new careers start in the summer.  Some of them start off on the right foot, and people move quickly ahead.  For others of us, there can be lots of missteps.

For new professors, summer is when you move and set up shop in a new town.  I've set up a website (at AcademicsOnly.org) that can help you do this, and here's a graphic that summarizes some of the information in something you can tape to a filing cabinet.  Although I intended it to be for new professors, it now seems to fit with a lot of other careers.

Congratulations on your great new job, and good luck starting off strong.
